Nerf Tickatus so control is fun again or give viable counters, please... 

I hope they will do changes to secret mage, also some mana cheating in game and demon Warlock (with Voidcallers and Gul'dan, Tickatus).

I have played Wild mode exclusively since it started. In my opinion gamebreaking decks that require no high skill cap should be hard nerfed.

For example giants warlock, snip snap warlock and the latest hysteria deck. I don't agree that Patron Warrior should've been nerfed, this deck is very high skill cap. I know this deck is ancient, still think it is revelant for this discussion.

I don't see Raza priest as a big problem. You have many cards to hard counter Raza priest so they lose instantly. Secret mage I have mixed opinion on. If I notice 9/10 mages I meet on ladder is secret mage. I will play odd warrior or druid that burns them out. I just pray that I won't meet resurrect priest. 

I welcome small tweaks, but not removal of mechanics that strips the identity of certain cards. Like for example yogg-sarons battlecry ending if he dies. Or Raza not giving 0 mana hero power.

noob question: should I craft cards that are about to get nerfed in golden? will I get gold back? I ask because I remember that this was the case with the hall of fame cards last year

There is no reufund for this years Classic revamp since the whole coreset will be free as long as the core set is in standard.

You get 10 extra dust for golden commons that get nerfed, any other rarity gives the same amount of dust but you can only have a maximum of 2 golden copies of a card (I think you can have more if you unpack them afterwards).

From the looks of things, the cards that are going to reverted are those that were being played a lot with their class. Think Emerald Spellstone, Keeper of the Grove, Ancient of Lore, Bonemare. This could also mean that Raza is going to be reverted back to having the Hero Power cost 1 again. I would say that cards being targeted during this process are cards that have essentially been powercrept out by stronger answers in Wild.

I sincerely doubt that Barnes and Patches will be reverted, at least completely. Patches and Barnes were the precious pets of Ben Brode's design team, and both are, to my knowledge, almost universally hated. I could see Patches being given Rush to give more of a reason to play him, but I sincerely doubt Barnes will be reverted to 4 mana. 

Please tell me you are not reverting Barnes.  Christ, no.

Because they said some absolutely true things that are real and happened?

Damn it! How dare they!

Oh please, stop trying to kiss Ben Brode's ass. Or would you rather prefer bullshit like the Hysteria/Tiller combo not being fixed for three months?

Goddamn, you are so blind. Ben Brode was a good promoter, but that was it. Ben Brode's tenure included many problem cards that choked the game for months at a time, and there were times that it would take almost a whole fucking year for cards the community was complaining about to be nerfed. I recommend you take a deep dive into Giantslock and Naga Sea Witch and be clued in as to how little he actually cared about a balanced game.

I feel like I just had a stroke reading this.

I play secret mage cause mage was the class that was introduced in the tutorial and with all the expansions forced me to play one class. So i used all my gold to buy and craft cards for mage. The cheapest deck with only one legendary or 2 depending on the deck version is the easiest to make and craft. 

It's not my choice , but the way team 5 developed this game,gold gaining and dust gaining forced me into it. If they nerf it it would make me to quit It,if they offer no alternative.

No offense; I know we all criticize the economy of this game once in a while, but especially since the addition of triplicate protection, you have to be seriously mismanaging your money to be in this situation. The Rewards Track will offer you around 8000-8500 gold per expansion, plus 10 packs, plus two random legendaries. On average, a pack will value around 100 dust, so this is around 12500 dust per season. You can craft several budget decks with that amount.

When I first started playing the game, I completely agree, the experience of waiting to craft my first decks was really troublesome and boring. But you should be absolutely fine after a while, especially if you stick with one class or two. You are 100% mismanaging your gold in some way, if you reply or message me I might be able to try to figure out what's going on and to give you some help.

No. decks. should. be. nerfed. in. wild. Its the whole point of the mode, anything can be played, any broken deck or combo. For more or less balanced gameplay standard exists. 

 why would you say that? why are you an enemy of fun? we want diversity even in wild. i want to not know what my opponent will play when i encounter a mage and not only boring secret mage. We're missing on so much fun because of a dozen opressive cards. I vote for constant smaller nerfs. fuck it. shake it up. we want diversity

I agree, used to watch a lot of Vintage Super League back when that was a thing for magic - the best seasons were the ones with a fresh restricted/ban list.

My opinion is somewhere between the two extremes.  I want wild to be a slower moving format with less nerfs than Standard - something you can dip in and out of over time without having to delete all your decks and relearn the entire format every month or two. 

That said, if the format gets to a point of being seriously unhealthy (and I know everyone would have a different opinion of where that line is, but from my perspective some examples from history would be the Sea Witch meta and the Sn1p Sn4p meta) then I think it is diligent for the devs to step in and curtail the offending cards/decks.

I keep saying that this game needs sideboard options so you can tech in against certain classes... this will cause more variety in deckbuilding and force people to play alternate decks for certain classes... if you tech in against secret mage for example and many people know it they will start introducing mage decks without secrets to counter all secrethate teched in... 

80% of the opponents in wild are playing secret mage.. Annoying as hell, something needs to be done!
First of all minions with premium stats like Kirin Tor Mage and Kabal Lackey on top cheating 0 mana secrets is absurd. Simple solution would be to change the cost to 1 mana secret  like Game Master instead of 0 mana. The discount of Kabal Crystal Runner is ridiculous..all other similar cards like Devout Pupil / Umbral Owl etc. have 1 mana discount
